2017 Crowd Watch

[cleary89]

Know of 2 places giving away tickets today for gws finals. Parra crowd looks great,

 

[Raiderdave]

If Parra win of course. A full house at Allianz would look good.

but be 20K less then ANZ

tell me

would the AFL play a final at etihad with 52K because it looks good
or 75K at the MCG ?
seriously
our sport is run by clowns & followed by it too it seems

 

[Clifferd]

If Parra win & the NRL don't move the game.. well that'll do me.

Could get 60k+ at ANZ.

I think it's confirmed at Allianz already, but I agree. Parra would bring like 40k+ fans alone

Allianz is Roosters home prelim. Would be ANZ if the situation was reversed.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Nrl would be stupid to move it away from allianz. Who cares if 10k people are locked out.

and again
there is no.. home grounds.. for Sydneys clubs
the NRL has the discretion to take it to either ground in Sydney

no
they're stupid for denying anyone .. anyone who wants to go to the game & watch it live the opportunity

the games biggest issue & problem is crowds & people not wanting to go to games
now when they do


this is our solution ?

F me
its key stone cops stuff

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

This looks unreal, sounds it too. Parra fans are starving.

Hypothetically speaking if moved to ANZ
I feel they would bring 45k alone, plus 15-20k roosters fans?

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

no

No, a sold out 40k stadium looks better than 30k empty seats at the shit hole anz stadium, not only that, the atmosphere will be 10 times better. NRL won't move it and so they shouldn't.

Unless there's a booking at ANZ next week there's no excuse.

But I'm pretty sure the NRL book out all the key dates in September anyway.

You don't get home preliminary finals.

You get home region. Rules are clear on it. NRL can play any Sydney game in the finals at either ANZ or Allianz.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Why? Roosters home ground is Allianz and they deserve to play there. 40k at Allianz looks better than 60k at anz anyway.

Deserves got nothin' to do with it.

Look at the NRL's own rules.

And I could care less about "looks", locking out 20000 fans is bad business, full stop.

The idea the NRL are in a position where they can turn away 20,000 fans is ludicrous. Only the NRL would be so stupid.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Who cares? The rules also say they can have it at Allianz. Where it should be.

so we;re after a look
or everyone attending who wants to

tell me is that the way to develop an attendance culture ?

lets play all games at 10K seat stadiums
they'd all sell out & look great if thats what we're after lol

i mean seriously

 

[axe&smash&crush]

Oh come on, if parra win and you cant get 60000+ you are not trying.

In a year when they are getting hammered in the press for bad crowds, you wanna sacrifice potentially an extra 20000 and a s#%t load of good will

Anyway parra still gotta win

U think that only 50000 would turn up to parra v roosters? Its 60000 minimum champ!

Exactly.

No other sport would use this mindset. We are run by absolute monkeys.

60k is better than 40k mate simple maths.

Anz stadium is rocking at about 40k anyway which I reckon is around there tonight, yet alone 60.

Why undersell a product when you know you can get a heck of a lot more customers?

 

[Raiderdave]

clowns running the game
& following it
like I said

You can't even see the top level at ANZ on the TV!

How would 40000 look better than 60000?

This is the mindset that had held our code back. Absolute madness.
